A special request to kick off the election year with momentum.

  John, We’re reaching out today with a special request: we’re asking you to support our organizing efforts as we begin to mobilize voters ahead of the 2024 election. It’s hard to overstate just how critical Democratic turnout will be in this race. That’s why we’re starting our organi…

before more MAGA smears come...

  John, We’re officially in the election year of our race to defeat Ken Calvert. And things are going to begin heating up… a lot. From the start, this has been a community-centered, issue-based campaign focused on giving CA-41 a voice in Congress we can trust has our interest at hear…

300 days until Election Day.

  John, Today marks 300 days until Election Day. That means we have just 300 days left to fundraise, organize, and win in November! I’ll explain more in a moment about why I’m more optimistic than ever about our race to unseat Ken Cavlert, but first can you chip in $3 to keep our mome…

We just made history.

Any New Years plans?

  Happy almost New Year, John! I hope you have some fun plans for tonight (though, I’ve found sitting on the couch with good food can be just as fun as a big party 😊). I know my team and I have emailed a lot about our final FEC fundraising deadline of the year, and I’m sorry to bug yo…

Will you take a look at your record?

  John, Tonight marks our final FEC fundraising deadline of the year and we’re just short of our goal  – we have about $5,000 left to raise.  Will you take a look at your record below, and then chip in $3 or more to help Will flip the seat, and the House, blue?   YOUR SUPPORTER…

Pulling back the curtain

  John, I’m going to pull back the curtain a bit, because we’re coming up on a make-or-break moment for our campaign. Tomorrow at midnight marks our final FEC fundraising deadline of the year. After this, we are required by law to report how much we’ve raised and how many donations we…

  Hi John, I know what you’re thinking… “ugh… ANOTHER fundraising email?” Before becoming a candidate, I remember getting *bombarded* with desperate, hair-on-fire emails from other candidates. So believe me when I say I know how annoying they can be. But here’s the truth: the vast maj…

Update: GOP lawsuit against Will Rollins FAILS.

  We have an important update, John. Last week, Republicans backing Ken Calvert launched an absurd lawsuit to prevent Will from using the word 'counterterrorism' to describe his legal experience on the ballot. We went to court, and yesterday a superior court judge ruled that Will can …

I'm fed up.

Sincerely asking.

humbly asking you

Infuriating.

Re: Calvert’s voting record in 2023

“Commie scum”
